Create a a system of 2 equations: 2x + y = 27 and 2y + x = 9, with x being the first number and y being the second. solve for the two variables and you'll get the first number is 15 and the second is -3.
By moving the signs he actually changed the number itself. He changed -6 from a negative to a positive and 5 from a positive to a negative. Both equations give different answers.
Hopefully this helps :)
Answer:
x=1 or x=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
16x2+10x−27=−6x+5
Step 1: Subtract -6x+5 from both sides.
16x2+10x−27−(−6x+5)=−6x+5−(−6x+5)
16x2+16x−32=0
Step 2: Factor left side of equation.
16(x−1)(x+2)=0
Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.
x−1=0 or x+2=0
x=1 or x=−2
